Even if it's hypothetical, it's always better to post code so we have context for a conversation. The general answer to "RSpec is not testing my filters" is "you're doing it wrong." Posting code gives us something to work with.

This ^^ instantiates a new object but does not save it to the database, so the "save" below creates the new record, therefore the "after_update" filter is not called. You might want that to be "after_save" instead, but you'd have to think about the other implications of that in the context of your app. If you don't, then change this line, above, to TaskOrder.create and the save, below, will update the record in the db and fire the after_update callback.
